From the linux kernel COPYING file:

Also note that the only valid version of the GPL as far as the kernel
is concerned is _this_ particular version of the license (ie v2, not
v2.2 or v3.x or whatever), unless explicitly otherwise stated.

I over heard in the local telecom office here in Pune, India there will be no more printed directory here either. The last one we got is three years old.
BTW the directories in Indian cities were distributed only by the Monopoly telecom BSNL and its Big cities cousin MTNL. With rise of private players in wired as well as the exploded mobile segment in India, the directories were not much of the use anyway. This just puts the death nail in them.

How is a corporation going to ask permission to search your residence? I guess we should be glad they asked permission . . .

Why not ? Google is already the KING of search. And they probably already search your house or atleast the part of any slashdotter's house that really matters, his blogs, emails and what not.

perhaps you shouldnt make comments that are a dead giveaway you've never even seen a jailbroken iphone if you're going to try and claim you're some sort of authority on what they can and cant do.

Right!! what did you think this is? slashdot?... wait a minute!. Errr!! never mind, just mod parent -1 irrelevant.

The minor advantage over one or the other is moot.. because unless you've got something of actual importance (in which case it shouldn't be on your home computer) no one is going to go through the bother of trying to break in either way.

Thats what poor Kenneth Haywood thought, but fate has its own turns and twists.
Agreed that a chance of a terrorist using your connection to send threat emails is quite low, but how about a spammer or an identity thief? Or just an angry X Lover?

Yah but obviously you are missing the difference in living cost.

Socially acceptable (and considered good) living conditions are achievable with these salaries in India. Minimum wedge in "Federal" US means probably some dingy old apartment and living on free food from Mcdonalds.

BTW: Can you afford a full time housekeeper on minimum wedge in US?
